Irony
Cliffs rise above a diamond filled river
Keeping watch o’er the land and all who there dwell
The wind sometimes whispers
At other times shouts
Makes it way through the canyon
Awakening the juniper
Crimson grasses dance in the sunlight
While golden eyelashes play in the snow
A lone hawk takes wing
Against a sapphire backdrop
Cries out to the earth
“All is right, all is well”
And night returns silently
Revealing its treasures
That brandish the sky
Like rubies and gold
And I am reminded by all of this splendor
How infinitesimal we really are
Wow! what beautiful words and so descriptive. keep up the wonderful work.
very well penned, brilliant poetry.
cheers.

Hi Shelli, I floated the Pecos with a group of friend this past spring and am now putting our photos in a book. I googled “Pecos River Poem” and found your poem Irony to be extremely fitting. May I use your poem for the intro to our book? This book will not be sold, only distributed to the friends who floated and perhaps friends of these friends. I’d be more than happy to send you a copy when it is finished. Thanks for your wonderful talent!
